<b>South Padre Island, TX</b>
<p>
There are many people in the U.S. who don't even realize Texas has an island to party on. Probably because this is the city's only purpose. It is completely legal to drink on the beach on South Padre Island, and is the home of a 3-day dance music festival for spring breakers to rage to. Spring Break paradise! </p>

<b>Orlando, FL</b>
<p>Two worlds: Disney World. You might not think of the childhood wonderland as a great spring break, but that's because you may not know that there is actually a lot to there besides get sick on the teacups ride. Epcot features it's "Drinking Around the World" showcase (self explanatory), and Downtown Disney is full of places to wet your whistle. If that doesn't make you happy there is always Pleasure Island, aka a strip of Irish-style pubs.</p>
